n.branco's offensive in "the rules"

Whether you agree with the psot or not, there was truly no need to be rude.

No need at all.

So, can we all be respectful?

I don't see anyone being rude but rather someone being critical of the original poster and offering criticism. That is exactly what my point was in another thread and yet I get warned over it :huh:

I also am not of the opinion that you just have to be respectful of a person's opinion if you feel it is unworthy and wish to critique it.

and his writing is full of hypocrisy. he claims to want to end racism, sexism and homophobia in daytime and yet all he wants are white lgbt characters. he wants b&b's ridge jr., b&b's storm, atwt's brad, oltl's sara to all be lgbt and they are all white. he wanted b&b's katie and felicia to be lgbt, and he suggested there were homosexual undertones between oltl's john and david. all of these characters are white. branco has clearly shown that he thinks there is no need for lgbt characters of color to be represented on soaps.

branco's writing is not campy. it's trashy and desperate and sexually starved. there's a difference.

This makes very little sense, I'm sorry. He makes mention that he wants various characters to be gay, characters already established on their shows, these characters happen to be white. Would you rather he champion making gay the non-existent minority characters that populate daytime? I could understand if he was just making up a brand new character but you expect him to say "I want Felicia to be white BUT BEFORE THAT Latina. Yes, Latina. Many don't know this but Stephanie is actually Mexican."

And it's funny to see a fan of Passions find his innocuous comments offensive. Passions has offended every subset of humanity. It had an Army of Lesbians and a hermaphrodite serial killer for God's sake. Half of it's female cast has been raped. It has a man/woman sleep with his/her own FATHER. It takes the cake in offensive storytelling.

Uhh, you missed the point completely.

couldn't y&r's lily, b&b's det. baker, the daughter of amc's jessie and angie, days' lexie all be suggested as lgbt characters of color? there's never a mention for that. instead branco says "make b&b's storm, felicia and ridge jr, oltl's sara, atwt's brad, etc. lgbt." and they are all white characters. is there no need for lgbt characters of color?

and regarding your stephanie is mexican plot, LOL! that is something only oltl, branco's fave soap, would do. they are the only soap to make blair a KOREAN woman who suddenly became a white, southern woman.

btw, i am not a "fan" of passions. i don't follow that soap. the soaps i follow majority of the time are the b&b, atwt, oltl. branco and whoever else can bash passions if they want to. but it's so pathetic and extremely biased to be praising oltl for its may sweeps storylines like the way branco does when it is not even airing yet! and it's cruel to the cast, crew and fans of passions to still be dissing it when it's already cancelled. that's unprofessional branco at his usual.

it is so sad when someone keeps attacking you, keeps encouraging others to attack you, yet he always claims to put you on his ignore list.

So what....he loves OLTL....big whoop. So do I, but does that make me any worse than this guy?

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. It's alright to disagree, but there's a thin line between a disagreement and an argument....and that line has been crossed here.

Came back to too many reports about this one thread.. Either we all respect one another's views or threads where the constant complaints have been coming from will be closed, warnings issued, and the next step will be taken....

We are all adults on this board, we can act like it and respect one another. If we can give respect to those we see on a daily basis, I don't see why it's so hard not to be able to do it on a message board.
